A Happy Day — Johnny Randle

April 1978

Original student work from The Paper, April 1978. Printed names, wording and school information are preserved; contemporary plans and opinions are not later outcome verification.

One day last summer as I was walking home from school, my father stopped and picked me up.

When we got home he asked me, “Johnny, will you clean up for me?”

Everybody told me to say yes. So I said, “Yes, I will.”

He went out to the car and took out my new ten-speed bike, and that was my happiest day.
